I've been having this problem recently since it has gotten colder. On cold mornings I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the key, the engine will turn over when I hold the starter, but it just does not start. After a while it will show fault code 11 and the engine light will flash as I'm holding the starter.

If I try later on in the day when it warms up outside it will start no problem, even if the fault code 11 is still showing from the morning.

This seems to happen when it's under 45 degrees F outside. Bike only has 7100 miles.

I actually had this same problem around the time I bought the bike in April: 2007 R6 not starting - Fault Code 11
It happened a couple times then but I'm now realizing that it is due to the cold.

I don't think this is the same thing that other people with fault code 11 are having. If there was a problem with the sensor then why does this only happen when it's cold?? Could the temperature affect the sensor?

check your grounds? I haven't had too much experience with the electronics on this bike; however, from my experience, Yamaha things are VERY picky when it comes to electronics.

I'm just thinking online, here, but maybe you have a loose connection condition that gets worse when the materials contract :. check all grounds, and all connections, throw battery on a charger, and at least eliminate some of the possibilities.

If none of those help, consider finding a friend w/ an ECU and trade him a 6 pack for some test time with his ECU.
